Justin Timberlake Being Considered For Lead Role In ‘Annie’ — Report

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Justin on the big screen! Do you think he’s got what it takes to carry a musical?

Justin Timberlakemay be all about his “Suit & Tie” these days, but could his new image lead to a high-profile movie role? Justin, 32, is being considered to play Daddy Warbucks in the upcoming big-screen remake of Annie, Page Six is reporting, a project that already has some huge Hollywood hitters attached.

Not only is Annie being produced by Will Smithand Jay-Z— one of Justin’s good buddies, considering they’re about to go on tour together — but it’s also starring Quvenzhané Wallis, who was just nominated for an Academy Award! Sadly, the nine-year-old Beasts of the Southern Wild Star didn’t win Best Actress, but she still managed to steal the show.

A rep for Sony tells Page Six that the rumors are “not true,” but hey, stranger things have happened!
